Places to see in ( Congleton - UK )
Congleton is a town and civil parish in the unitary authority of Cheshire East and the ceremonial county of Cheshire, England. Congleton lies on the banks of the River Dane, 21 miles south of Manchester and to the west of the Macclesfield Canal.
The town of Congleton is broken up by the Congleton townspeople into seven main areas. These are Buglawton, otherwise known as Bug Town; the Bromley Farm estate, otherwise known as Tin Town due to the number of tin RSJs built there; Mossley, which is sometimes classed as the wealthier part of town; Hightown, which is located before Mossley between town and the railway station; West Heath, which is a relatively new estate built in the early 1960s to the early 1980s; Lower Heath to the north of the town; and finally the town centre.
Congleton is located in a river valley (the River Dane). To the south of the town lies an expanse of green space known locally as Priesty Fields that forms a green corridor right into the heart of the town – a rare feature in English towns.
The National Trust Tudor house Little Moreton Hall is four miles (6.4 km) southwest of the town. Congleton is home to one of the oldest recorded rugby union clubs in the country, dating back to 1860, although there have been periods when the club were not able to field a side.
There is also a local football team, Congleton Town F.C., known as the Bears, who play in the North West Counties League. Their ground is at Booth Street. There are also two cricket clubs, Congleton CC and Mossley CC. There are two golf clubs in the town; the historic Congleton Golf Club which is an undulating nine-hole course with views over the Cloud End, and the 18-hole parkland course at Astbury. There is also a running club, Congleton Harriers, which meets weekly at Congleton Leisure Centre.
Congleton Park is located along the banks of the River Dane just north east of the town centre. Town Wood on the northern edge of the park is a Grade A Site of Biological Interest and contains many nationally important plants. Congleton Paddling Pool was built in the 1930s and is open in the summer months. Astbury Mere Country Park lies just to the south west of the town centre, on the site of a former sand quarry. The lake is used for fishing and sailing and despite its name, is actually in the West Heath area of Congleton, with the boundary between Congleton and Newbold Astbury parishes lying further to the south.
Congleton Museum is on Market Square in the centre of town. It was established in 2002 and is dedicated to Congleton's industrial history. It also contains an ancient log boat and gold and silver coin hoards. Congleton is seven miles (11 km) east of the M6 motorway, connected by the A534.
Congleton railway station opened on 9 October 1848. It lies on the Manchester to Stoke-on-Trent branch of the West Coast Main Line. It was revealed in The Sentinel newspaper on 7 September 2011. The Macclesfield Canal, completed in 1831, passes through the town. It runs 26 miles (42 km) from Marple Junction at Marple, where it joins the Upper Peak Forest Canal, southwards (through Bollington and Macclesfield), before arriving at Bosley.

A Walk Through Chester, England
Chester is a walled city in Cheshire, England. Lying on the River Dee, close to the border with Wales, it is the largest and most populous settlement of the unitary authority area of Cheshire West and Chester, which had a population of 328,100 according to the 2001 Census,[increasing to 329,608 at the 2011 Census. Chester was granted city status in 1541.
Chester was founded as a castrum or Roman fort with the name Deva Victrix, during the reign of the Emperor Vespasian in AD79. One of the three main army camps in the Roman province of Britannia, Deva later became a major civilian settlement. In 689, King Æthelred of Mercia founded the Minster Church of West Mercia, which later became Chester's first cathedral, and the Saxons extended and strengthened the walls, much of which remain, to protect the city against the Danes. Chester was one of the last cities in England to fall to the Normans. William the Conqueror ordered the construction of a castle, to dominate the town and the nearby Welsh border.
Chester is one of the best preserved walled cities in Britain. It has a number of medieval buildings, but some of the black-and-white buildings within the city centre are Victorian restorations. Apart from a 100-metre (330 ft) section, the listed Grade I walls are almost complete. The Industrial Revolution brought railways, canals, and new roads to the city, which saw substantial expansion and development – Chester Town Hall and the Grosvenor Museum are examples of Victorian architecture from this period.

Hiking around Delamere Forest, Cheshire, UK - a training walk on the sandstone trail with my baby
In this vlog we will be hiking with a baby boy around Delamere Forest, Cheshire, UK from Gresty's Waste around Blakemere. Walking on part of the sandstone trail.
We parked at Gresty's waste car park as it is free and walked into Delamere Forest, Cheshire. It put a couple of extra miles on the walk but on this occasion that was just an added bonus as that was what I wanted.
We walked up past Old Pale Hill and down into Delamere Forest.
Then from the visitors centre out and around Blakemere. Blakemere is the largest body of water in the area at 35Ha and was recovered in 1997 as it had become overgrown. It is a superb habitat and a major draw for visitors in Delamere forest.
Hiking with a baby boy is more than manageable here. A lot of people use push chairs but I prefer to have Tom, my baby boy in a back pack style baby carrier. The Osprey Poco is the one we have and we have covered miles in it. It is no more difficult than backpacking. In Delamere forest there are plenty of benches and picnic tables which make changing babies a breeze. There is no reason your baby boy can't train with you.
Delamere is one of the gems of Cheshire and must rank right up there in the UK ratings. The countryside is as you would expect to find in northern Cheshire And is very picturesque.
The sandstone trail cuts through delamere and is easily followed using the sandstone trail way markers.

Visit Chester and Cheshire - Tourist Information Animation - Things to do in Chester and Cheshire
Take a dozen major tourist attractions of Chester and Cheshire, a whole host of things to do for visitors across the year (from Chester Races and Chester Zoo to Chester Rocks) , a collection of stills and create a short film that somehow connects them all in one continuous, eccentric, slightly Alice in Wonderland journey. That was our brief.
The resulting animated film, created in After Effects will play both on web sites and in Visitor Information Centres across the county. It has more than a hint of Terry Gilliam about it and will give newcomers and locals alike the smile of a Cheshire Cat.
